For the fourth time, Securikett Ulrich & Horn GmbH has won first place in the "security" category of the international labelling competition run by Finat, the association of manufacturers of self-adhesive labels. Securikett Austria is proud of this success, which underlines its position as the leading supplier of security labels.
Securikett specialises in making security labels. In order to prevent counterfeiting and the unauthorised opening of packages, it has developed special sealing labels, numbered labels, encoded labels and hologram labels, frequently offering unique solutions for a variety of industries. Securikett develops its own techniques for tackling these complex tasks and, as a result, has a comprehensive understanding of the many ways to secure products with special labels. Its product portfolio also includes multi-layered labels, wrap-around labels, cap sleeves, labels for promotional purposes, and many types of multi-layered labels incorporating variable numbering or encoding.
The Finat jury cited the following reasons for honouring the company with this award:
"The acceptance test proves that this security label is very difficult to reproduce. This label was created from a combination of flexo printing, screen printing and digital printing and is protected by a complex security stamp. For optimal protection against weathering the verso printing method is also used in which all the printed elements lie beneath a special foil. Integrating all of these processes makes it virtually impossible to copy this label".
Securikett says technical expertise and modern high-performance printing machinery are the basis for its success. Its top-quality printing presses include two MPS EP410 and one MPS EF410. Dr Ulrich-Horn comments: "MPS production lines are among the few machines available on the market that can work with multiple web throughputs in perfect register while handling several different printing processes, with very little setup waste". Flexo printing, screen printing, hot foil stamping, applying correctly registered holograms, embossing, laminating and many other processes can easily be combined. A special strength is handling widely differing materials, from the thinnest films up to the thick laminates and heat-sensitive substrates.
